Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened, for filling)
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop evenly sized dollops of batter (about 1.5 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each to allow for spreading.

Step 7

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and spring back lightly when touched. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Prepare the peanut butter filling by creaming the peanut butter and softened butter together in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy (about 2 minutes).

Step 9

Mix in the powdered sugar and beat until combined. Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and beat for another 1-2 minutes until the filling is light and spreadable.

Step 10

To assemble, spread about 1-2 tablespoons of the peanut butter filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
